. Which extant court order did Yusuf Alli refer to here? That INEC did not recognize the Stadium party structure? That the primary should not be held? INEC constitutionally associates itself with the party structure recognized by the constitution. Thus since the stadium primary was organized by PDP NWC with the INEC in attendance Adeleke's candidacy stands

That's all.

fergie001:

He is challenging the election because INEC has affirmed his rival in the election.

No, he isn't.
He doesn't care about who emerged in the other faction or how and when the factional election was conducted.

He wants his faction to be authenticated simple.

He wants his faction to be authenticated simple.

This is from the article:

Babayemi, however, approached the court challenging the nomination and submission of Adeleke by the PDP to INEC and the validity of the governorship primaries conducted at the stadium against the one conducted at WOCDIF.

(He cares about the other faction)


This was what I quoted

He is not challenging any election.
His business is with INEC and not the factional PDP.
Whichever faction the court recognize has the authentic candidate

NWC

So umpire is more important than voters in an election in your own opinion. Validity of deligates is more superior to presence of NWC.

1. There's no faction in national PDP. So, there's only one NWC who has the legal authorityto validate delegates(and not any court) and conduct primary election.
2. Babayemi cannot question the primary election he was not part of.
3. As at the time of the court order, state high court has no jurisdiction on pre-election matters again following new electoral act.
4. Even if adeleke election was void, babayemi cannot be PDP candidate because (a) The election at wocdif wherein babayemi was declared winner was not conducted by a legal entity I.e. PDP NWC but by Prince Oyinlola and (b) the election at wocdif was not supervised by the INEC which law frown at. So at worse, if adeleke was disqualified by court, which I doubt, PDP will not have a validly conducted primary election and therefore have no candidate in the forthcoming election.

you are very right here. Besides federal high court in Osogbo will trash Dotun Babayemi case in the court for lacking merit.
